Answer:

80 in

Explanation:

Because this is a right triangle we can find the length of the missing side using the Pythagorean Theorem

Given the hypotenuse and one leg we do


c^2-b^2=a^2

where c = hypotenuse and b = leg


82^2=6724\\18^2=324\\6724-324=6400\\√(6400) =80

so we can conclude that the missing side length is equal to 80
